In the 1960s, Pennsylvania Lawn Products manufactured lawn and garden tractors. The company, originally established in 1877 as Pennsylvania Lawn Mower Works, initially produced push and horse-drawn reel mowers. In 1962, Pennsylvania was acquired by Panzer Products, a subsidiary of Virginia Metalcrafters. The Panzer tractor line continued to be marketed under the Pennsylvania brand until 1969. In 1973, the Pennsylvania product line was sold to AMF.
